    Thesis for Lord of the Flies: comparing & contrasting characters?
    I have to write a thesis for an essay on Lord of the Flies I will be writing in class tomorrow.

    The prompt states:
    Compare and contrast Jack with Simon. Analyze what idea each character symbolically represents, explore their relationship in the text, and consider how their characters evolved.

    **What I've come up with:
    Jack= Devil/Satan
    Simon= God
    Jack is generally violent whereas Simon is peaceful/thoughtful

    HELP? Thank you!

    Jack and Simon are diametrically opposed personalities. Look at the character study and analysis here --
